Project Snapshot

The two-storey, 35,000-square-foot office building houses many of Durham College’s Student Services, including:

Career services

Financial aid

Awards office

Office of the Vice Presidnet

Presentation rooms and classrooms

This project is a prime example of our design’s team capabilities, bringing together an energy-efficient and architecturally appealing flourescent lighting system. The system features a state-of-the-art lighting control system that incorporates daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors, addressable fire alarm system and complete building communication solutions.

This building also required the coordination and tie-in of many services into an adjacent building. Birnie Electric provided a turnkey Design-Build solution as both the electrical engineer providing complete electrical design as well as the contractor executing the plan.
